This grand arrival, marked by the heavy security presence, underscores his influence and foreshadows his potential power as a candidate for the African Union Commission chairmanship.
Mr. Odinga delivered a powerful message to the heads of state who support his candidacy in the upcoming election for the position.
In his speech, Raila Odinga said " I dream of an African where boarders and colonial languages no longer divide us. We don't want want Africans to be divided as Anglophones, Francophones and Lusophones. I want them to be Africaphones."
